OK, cool I'll try it tomorrow... see what happens :D

Thought I'd try some new grease in my shimano hubs, so bought some Finish Line Teflon grease, the kind of off white colour in a white tube. Well, it says bearings etc on the tube, but its mighty thin... anybody else got any experience of this stuff, or used it for a hub service?

I saw that Freehub Buddy mentioned in an article somewhere - looks good but probably only worthwhile if you're pulling apart a LOT of freehubs? Anyway, not sure how relevant this is, but I think the droning noise may be due to cassette movement on the freehub body, or possibly even the...

will try that, thanks

OK thanks, at least that eliminates one line of enquiry... back to the drawing board :?

Been investigating a growling noise coming from my rear Deore LX Parallax hub - M563, generaly one per rotation. So, removed cassette and checked cup/cone & bearings and all seemed OK, so removed freehub, and when I removed the rubber seal at the very back of the freehub to expose the...

Well, all I can say is that the dear old soul can't be the sharpest tool in the shed if he admitted to thieving an "OnOne Prince Albert frame"...

Hadn't given any thought to the shifters, but since you mention it, yes they are old and they do have ultimate control over cable feed to the RD, so perhaps I ought to chuck a new shifter on to see if that sorts it...

I've checked the following: 1. Cable - no kinks and routing seems OK at the back i.e. no sharp angle as it enters RD, though maybe there is a little too much outer between shifter and 1st cable guide (see pics). 2. Jockey wheels spinning OK and pins/bolts tight. 3. Chain is a 7/8spd...

I'll check cable routing tomorrow, though it doesn't have a separate hangar - RD bolts straight to frame. I did think it might be a RD alignment problem, but just looking at the mech from the back, it looks OK, at least to the naked eye... Is there any way an LBS can check a frame for...

I recently replaced the chain again on my '91 Cinder Cone, but cassette was still fine so left it alone. But, the indexing is proving a real nightmare. On the few rides I've done with the new chain I'm getting a metallic sounding noise from the cassette / RD / jockey area when in the fourth...

It's the details I love... like the angle of the saddle, the uncut cable ties... just know it was enthusiast owned. Thank god for such people though, or there would be no bargains to snaffle up!!!

One and the same by the looks of it... cheers, he'll be pleased to know that it wasn't a complete pile of poo back in the day!

Not sure if there's any Raleigh guru's on here, but if so I'd be interested to know a little more about a frame that a friend has just acquired. It was bought new by his father in law some years ago, and is an alloy frame with some quite fancy CNC work on the chain stays (bit like my Tomac)...

I think we should start a 19 year old Cinder Cone' thread...!!! I too bought mine new in 1991, but ordered black, which although pretty cool at the time and I suppose through most of the 90's, I later regretted not ordering the Cinder Gold :cry: Anyway, mine has done many thousands of...

Well, seeing as I define a hardtail as pretty much anything without rear suspension, here's my old '91 Cinder, still providing sterling service as my road/training bike.

Yup, I have a '91 Cinder Cone, and 26.4 is the right size.
